Bally Wizard! knocker socket location

[Ace 24]

I just bought a Bally Wizard! and the knocker is not plugged in. I
don't see a socket for it to be plugged in? Where is it usually? The
chimes plug in under the playmeter under the left side of the
playmeter.
Under the right side of the playmeter is some kind of electrical
contact that is connected to the playmeter. It sort of resembles a
fuse holder. This would be a logical place for the knocker socket, but
it's not there.

Also, there are a couple of jones plug sockets that I can't identify.
On the left side of the machine, just south of the Game Over Interlock
Relay switches, there is a 4 hole socket where the plug has two prongs
that can be put in left or right. What is this plug and socket for?

Next to that one, just south of the Game Over Interlock Relay coils,
there is a 2 hole socket. There are two single plug wires in that
area that are not plugged into anything. One is orange/yellow, the
other is yellow/red. One or both of these must go in that socket.
What are they for?


Thanks,

Mark

Going from memory here...the knocker should plug in next to the
chime plugs on a two-hole set of sockets, they may even be on the side
of the wooden relay panel. I realize you said you didn't have
paperwork, so look for matching wire colors on these from your knocker
assembly.
Your other questions about the wire locations under and around the
game Over Relay--those sets of sockets are for coinage it takes to
play, and adjustments for how many balls a game will have, and I think
whether you want the game to be on replay or add-a-ball for acheiving
score levels. There will always be some left-over wires and plugs, so
don't sweat those, just plug them back into the wood holes that are
there for them. If the game is resetting and working fine right now,
you'll be fine.
The loose-leaf Bally manual (more like a few pages of typed
instructions) and the schematics for this game will illustrate all the
adjustments of these plugs in more detail.

There's a two-pin jones plug on the right, IIRC. It's probably hiding
from view under the playmeter, again IIRC.

Can you post a picture? That sounds like you're in the right area, but
there shouldn't be a fuse holder there.

That "fuse holder" looking thing was the knocker socket. It looks
different because the plug does go in the side of it instead of on top
like all the others, so I didn't recognize it for what it was. The
knocker is now plugged in and working. Also I plugged in the credit
for high score plug. So I'm now good to go for specials. Thanks.
